That is a known AVG problem and they now have an uninstaller which should fix that and remove it

Okay, that scan took a very long time. However, it is done and here is the results below. Now should I try and extract my Microsoft Office Portable and see if Avast detect a threat as well?

Place the USB drive in your system but do not open it
Open windows explorer and navigate to the USB drive and right click
Select @ Scan

Well it scanned but it eventually just closed by itself. I scanned the USB drive and it just closed itself and then I went to the Rar file for Office Portable that's on my desktop and it just closed like it did with the USB drive. What should I do?

[dch1314]

I know this sounds preliminary, however I think it was something with AVG that was affecting my IE. It can start back acting up but just from the looks of it I believe something with AVG maybe it's Firewall affected it. Seems good as of now though. What should I do about the Office Portable?

[Essexboy]

If it just closed then it detected nothing

Looks like you may be good to go - but run for 24 hours and let me know

[dch1314]

Okay, will do!

[dch1314]

well the 100% cpu usage still is a factor when I use Excel. However, the IE problems looks as though it's fixed when I got rid of AVG. I am not sure what's the problem with Excel. It's pissing me off terribly though

Another thing is I use celtx to write scripts and such. However, I had a document with celtx that I backed up. Now upon installing celtx back onto my system and putting the backup file back on my computer along with excel documents I can't make the file just open with the desired programs. I was able to do 'open with' and make it always with word documents but with my celtx documents it says is not a valid win 32 application and with Excel I browse for the Excel.exe but it never shows in the list after clicking it. What's wrong?

[dch1314]

EssexBoy I think I know what the problem was. Well with my IE it had to be the Firewall or something with AVG. However, with the 100% cpu usage I am thinking it was a bad Excel directory or something like that, that I read on Microsoft website.

I am not sure exactly what the problem was but it was something about a bad .exe or something like that with just Excel. I know it has to be an Excel problem because when I tried to use the Open With and select Excel it won't do it but other apps on Office Portable would work

[Essexboy]

Can you download/locate a fresh copy of excell and wipe the old one ?

[dch1314]

It's not that the Excel is corrupt or anything I read on Microsoft it's a bad path or directory or something like that. I scanned with Avast and nothing was detected. I just deleted the Excel. I am not in real need of Excel anymore since I use Google Spreadsheet so I will be good as of now. I am just happy I finally was able to fix the problems thanks to you recommending me remove AVG and get Avast.

On another note: I have my backup computer its Vista. However, I want to do a destructive recovery on the computer but there isn't any F10 or F11 option which brings it up. I was wondering if my computer don't have the recovery console but it didn't come with CDs because the software was pre-installed would I still be able to do a recovery? I want to wipe it out completely like I did this computer and maybe hopefully get XP rather than Vista but Vista would do.

[Essexboy]

What is the make and model of the Vista system ?

[dch1314]

That I have no idea of!

[Essexboy]

Is it a Dell - Acer or HP the model number should be in the documentation or on the computer somewhere
